ARC-PA 6th ed Standards C1.01, C1.02
In compliance with the SACSCOC and ARC-PA requirements, student assessments of courses and faculty are mandatory to maintain accreditation. In addition, the program values students’ feedback and modifies the program based on student, faculty, and staff input. All survey data is collected anonymously.
Surveys are released at the end of each module, program course, and scheduled learning activities. Students are expected to offer constructive feedback regarding areas of improvement as well as areas of strength.
Compilation of the evaluation feedback is provided to the Director and Associate Director and reviewed by the respective program committee to determine strengths and areas that require improvement in faculty teaching, individual courses, and the overall curriculum. Constructive student feedback is essential.
Except when carried by law enforcement, weapons of any kind are restricted on the GWU campus and inappropriate for any healthcare setting, including educational programs. Weapons are explicitly prohibited from being carried by students, faculty, and staff while on campus, with the exception being law enforcement and military personnel carrying out official duties. This includes firearms, knives of any size, chemical sprays (e.g., MACE), or any item identified as a weapon. Students are expected to abide by this policy at every clinical or volunteer site throughout their matriculation as PA students. Anything overt or hidden that would be construed as making a reasonable individual uncomfortable or less than safe is explicitly prohibited.
